The expansible rim feature allows of an adjustment m the pitch to compensate for the wear of sheave and flights and, furthermore, for replacements or sheave renewals it is possible to replace portions of the expansible rim without going to the expense necessary to replace the entire sheave. This sheave has ren- dered it possible to make a successful cable conveyor of the scraper type. The installation of this cable conveyor in connection with the con- veyors used in the saw-house of the E. B. Eddy Company renders it possible to take the pulpwood from the river, pass it through the saws and deliver to the wood yard without any manual handling whatever ' Mr. L.

The reports from the boom show that nearly 120,000,000 feet of logs have been rafted there and it is expected that work that has not been reported will bring the amount up to 131,000,000 feet when all the reports are in.
